I've been thinking about this for a while now and I've finally decided that I want to do this. It's not because I don't have stuff to write about. In fact, this month has been incredibly eventful with a couple of near misses but also some painful lows. The main reasons why I'm doing this … Continue reading I’m taking a break from blogging

My boundaries
This is something I started thinking of last week when I was experiencing an abnormal number of blowouts. Before then, I was on a high and was hooking almost every set for a few weeks. I felt like I could do no wrong and then I got brought down to Earth. Blowout after blowout. One … Continue reading My boundaries
Perfecting the first 60 seconds
On my last post I talked about adding more teases in the first two minutes to strengthen hook point. While that may be important, I feel I'm inconsistent in the parts that come even before that. Here are the issues: Not being composed before the approach - Sometimes I jump into set without really gathering … Continue reading Perfecting the first 60 seconds
Breaking rapport before making rapport
Since I started daygaming last week, I've been getting numbers but they've all flaked. All of these sets started well with the girls liking my open and stack but as the set proceeded, I could see the interest waning. I also noticed that the sets were too short and the quality of investment from the … Continue reading Breaking rapport before making rapport
Bringing the art back to pickup artistry
A few weeks ago, I saw my flatmate watching an interesting documentary on Netflix. It was about the early 90's hip-hop scene in New York and featured one of my favorite artists, A Tribe Called Quest. I didn't see the entire episode but my flatmate told me it was a docu-series on the history of … Continue reading Bringing the art back to pickup artistry
Calibrating Distance
Back in the summer when I was determined to be as R-select as possible, I would do a front stop and step in close in the first few seconds. This drew an immediate reaction, where the girl would either: Give me big anime eyesGive me a seductive lookStep back but be curiousBe shockedBe creeped out … Continue reading Calibrating Distance

During this mini break, while I was busy getting my education sorted, I came to discover many truths about my personality that are relevant to … Continue reading What I’ve Learnt About Myself Over The Last Month
How bad sessions are created and what can be done to prevent it
My last few sessions have been very unproductive. I start off slow, walking long distances without approaching and then I have to really push myself to overcome the inertia. From my numerous experiences of failed daygame sessions (0 approaches), I have come to understand the crux of failure and here I'm going to share with … Continue reading How bad sessions are created and what can be done to prevent it
Becoming Proactive Infield
I've become too emotional infield. This has made my AA worse and I've struggled to open. In the past couple of weeks, I've had many sessions where I didn't open even once; something that very rarely happened not long ago. Its led to a vicious cycle of not opening -> feeling shit -> more AA … Continue reading Becoming Proactive Infield
Improving My Vibe
Last week's episode has made me consider what truly makes a man attractive in a daygame approach. For a while, I felt r-select daygame was attractive because the man shows extreme boldness and confidence. While I did get a lot of girls to react positively, I think I scared many of them away because I … Continue reading Improving My Vibe
